Excerpt from The Xxth Century Book on the Horse: Also a Practical Treatise on Training Ponies and Playing Polo

Little did I think when I published the First Edition of this work that in so short a space of time (a few months only) I should be writing a Preface to the Second Edition.

I have gone most thoroughly through the First Edition, and have made such alterations and additions as appear to be necessary, which I hope will enhance its value.

The success attained by my most serious attempt at authorship induces me to write a companion volume, to be called Practical Horsemanship: Training, Driving, Riding, Saddle and Side Saddle, which is dedicated by permission to His Grace the Duke of Portland, K.G., G.C.V.O., P.C. I trust this work will be equally well received by the public and also by the Press.
